#723 BSR5GN-DM アコースティックなトーンは、気持ちの良い弦振動を多分に内包した、しなやかさの集合体であり、楽器を弾くことの楽しさを常に感じさせてくれるものであり、その根源は、良質の材料による他にはありません。 アンプを通したサウンドは、野太くアンサンブルにとけこみつつも、確実にボトムを支える力強さとバイタリティに溢れており、Bubingaに似た傾向を持つものの、ローミッドによりピークを持つ、ベースらしい丸みのあるものとなっています。 Sheduaという材は、Exoticwoodの中でも、比較的用いられることの多い材ですが、その理由はこういう楽器の存在によって、非常に明確なものとなります。 全てに文句の付けようの無い、本物の楽器です。 |

#580 BSR5MS-WM Solid Bodyの楽器のように弦の振動がまずNeckで生じ、わずかの差をもってBodyに伝わってくるBolt-onの楽器の鳴り方がありながらも、Neck-thru構造特有のジェントルな質感があり、また、そのどちらにも寄りすぎていない高い完成度を感じます。 3pc. BodyのオプションがのっているこのBSR5MSですが、MSと言うモデルがSolid Body構造を基本としている意味は、非常にわかりやすいものとなっており、5pc.や7pc.といったより複雑で、良い楽器を製作する為に膨大な経験を要する構造に造詣が深いからこそできる多面的なアプローチの存在があります。 楽器をしっかりと鳴らせる弾き手であれば、それこそ、昔聴いた、ファンクの1音で雷を想起させるような音を出せてしまう楽器です。 |

#872 BSR5MW-FM 十分に見慣れているはずですが、それでもなお、魅入ってしまう美しさをもつ4A Claro WalnutをTop材に用いた5MWです。 多弦楽器の中には、それぞれの音色や音量のばらつきを気にしながら弾かなくてはならないものも依然として少なくありませんが、音楽と演奏に集中するという観点では不要であることは明白であり、根本的に最初から縁の無い場合もこの5MWのようにあります。 現状、入荷後に全ての楽器をPLEKにてスキャンをさせていただいており、Neckの動きを入荷後3日程続けてみたところ、微動だにしていませんでした。 演奏する音楽を考えた時に、音色が選ぶべき強力な材料になるKen Smithの中でも、Flat Top PickupsとBolt-on Neckによって、この5MWには"汎用性"という個性が追加されているようです。 |
